Masthaven Bank has today announced the launch of its brand-new intermediary-dedicated website, available for brokers across its mortgage and short-term lending divisions.

Structured into clear product areas across the business, the site offers an enhanced product search tool, a new online affordability calculator and a quick quote option for short-term loans. Additional resources include access to the specialist bank’s latest case studies, research and hints and tips for the broker community.

The website’s new criteria search also includes a live API connection with Knowledge Bank, in conjunction with Dock9. Providing over 90,000 individual criteria points across eight lending types and 200+ lenders, this is the first lender API integration across not only residential and buy to let, but also second charges and bridging that the search system has achieved to date.

The new intermediary website and API connection with Knowledge Bank exist to improve and enhance broker workloads, freeing up additional time to support clients with face-to-face interaction when needed.
